Simon Bajada is a slightly curveball addition here because he's actually an Australian living in Sweden, but his book is a standout and brings a creative, slightly removed perspective. Being a photographer as well as a cook, each recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous image: we challenge you to find a more beautiful pudding than the nutmeg cream pots with rhubarb and puffed spelt. Our favourite recipes have the Scandi feel without sticking to the classics: kale and buckwheat waffles with eggs, and pear, sage and hazelnut bread.
